    The Los Angeles County Cancer Surveillance Program identifies over 22,000 cancer cases annually. This program enables early patient access for crucial data collection, aiding cancer research and prevention efforts.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Epidemiology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Established in 1970, the Los Angeles County Cancer Surveillance Program monitors cancer incidence.
    • The program serves a large and diverse population, diagnosing approximately 22,000 cancer cases each year.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish a comprehensive system for early cancer case identification.
    • To facilitate rapid patient access for interviews and specimen collection.
    • To gather detailed demographic and diagnostic data for epidemiological analysis.

    Main Methods:

    • Routine review of all microscopically diagnosed malignancies in county hospitals.
    • Screening of all county death certificates for cancer-related information.
    • Collection of detailed case reports including demographics, occupation, and residence.
